Patients younger than 18 years who underwent ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring between December 2022 and January 2025 were included. These data were analyzed February 2025 to March 2026.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposure<\/jats:title>\n A continuous 7-day Holter device that functioned as an event recorder was used. Recordings from the first 24 hours were defined as the 24-hour Holter results.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n Arrhythmias were categorized as major (tachyarrhythmia or bradyarrhythmia) or minor (extrasystolic arrhythmia). All patients were followed up for 1 year; the final arrhythmia diagnosis was used as the reference standard. The primary and secondary outcomes were detection of arrhythmia and a change in clinical management attributable to monitoring findings, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In total, 435 children (235 female [54%] and 200 male [46%]; mean [SD] age, 12.3 [3.9] years) were included. The mean (SD) duration of analyzable ambulatory electrocardiographic data was 4.9 (1.7) days. Of 411 children who activated the event recorder, 10.7% had symptom-correlated arrhythmias. The 7-day Holter monitoring demonstrated a significantly higher rate of major arrhythmias (6.2%) than the 24-hour Holter or 7-day event recordings (2.3%; rate difference 95% CI, 1.9%-6.0%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Seven-day Holter monitoring showed superior sensitivity (7-day Holter monitoring: 73%; rate difference 95% CI, 54.1%-84.6%; 24-hour Holter monitoring: 27%; rate difference 95% CI, 13.4%-43.1%; and 7-day event recorder: 27%, rate difference 95% CI, 13.4%-43.1%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and a high negative predictive value (97.5%, 95% CI, 95.2%-98.6%). Tachyarrhythmias were associated with higher rates of management changes; management changed in 7.1% of patients with 7-day Holter monitoring, 1.6% with 24-hour Holter (rate difference 95% CI, 3.0%-7.6%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and 2.8% with a 7-day event recorder (rate difference 95% CI, 2.0%-6.2%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this study of pediatric patients without structural heart disease who underwent electrocardiographic monitoring, 7-day continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring was associated with a significantly higher diagnostic yield than 24-hour Holter and 7-day event recording. Continuous monitoring may be preferred to detect tachyarrhythmias likely to influence clinical management.<\/jats:p>\n
